Abstract

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste was considered as zero value materials and, as a result, most C&D waste materials ended up in landfills, eventually constituting environmental issues. Therefore, it is important to explore the potential of such C&D waste materials for concrete production. Thus, this research effort aims to find a new method to improve sustainable concrete properties exposed to elevated temperatures at the lowest costs and identify the relationship between temperature change and a change in colour in a heat-exposed concrete structure. Therefore, this study explored the behaviour of three types of concrete: plain concrete (PC), waste ceramic optimal concrete (WOC), and waste ceramic optimal concrete reinforced by hybrid fibre (WOC-Hybrid) in ambient and elevated temperature. The study shows that colour change in a concrete structure exposed to high temperature has a consistent relationship, where it has been found that the colour alteration is of great interest because its appearance usually coincides with the onset of a significant loss of concrete strength as a result of elected temperatures. Overall, it can be considered that waste ceramic materials reinforced by hybrid fibres can be used for concrete production, and by doing so, the negative impact of these wastes on the environment can be controlled as well as fortify the mechanical properties.
